Internet and Online Services

Consumer Action’s website allows visitors to search a comprehensive consumer protection and financial literacy information center. Updated daily, our free site offers consumer headline news, book reviews, a comprehensive library of consumer publications, a consumer resource directory, an online “help desk” and the Take@ction advocacy database of national, state and local elected officials, and more. The site tallies more than a million visitor sessions per year.

Consumer Action’s online presence is evolving and expanding. The outreach department is creating new ways to use the Internet to communicate with and support the nearly 7,000 community-based and non-profit organizations in its education network. The organization has also launched a number of topic-specific sites, which include: financial literacy, housing, insurance, privacy, wireless phones, payment cards and a consumer services guide. These sites can be accessed from Consumer Action’s home page via the pull down menu "Select a Subsite."

You can get the latest site updates by activating your free online membership or by subscribing to one or more of the site’s news feeds.
